I Traveller. |

The cotton crop which is now maturing In
the South promises TO be the largest ever
raised in the United States. II is now esti-
mated that il may reach 900, 900 bales, or

one. reaching s 800, 900 bales, but the largest
produced was in 1888. which WAS 6. e92. 234

That Chinook.

HELENA, Mont, March 1.-Private
advices from all parts of the Territory
to the Montana Lire Stock Journal re-
port that the chinook which common
ced on Saturday continues with IN
abated fury and it has carried off q
great part of the snow, except in the
mountains, and the cattle are again
feeding and resting from their recent
severe experience.
The cutters of the city are flowing
with torrents of water and the weather,
if it continues, will cause great flood
of the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers
and other streams. The chinook has
been chilled within the past twenty
four hours by a north wind in the re-
gion of Fort Benton, but the first two
days carried off most of the snow in
that region. People residing on the
Lower Missouri River had better pre-
pare for high water. Citizens of Miles
City and Fort Keogh fear that the Vel
lowstone will overflow the town and the
military post.

THE PRINTERS STRIKE.
Prospects that the Typos viii Be

MILWAUKEE, March 1.-The strike OF

day, is the largest that ever occurred in
this city. 1t includes all the compost
tors employed ont tks three English
daily papers and az those in the job
offices with one exception. About $50
printers are out. The newspaper pub
fishers have signed an agreement,
pledging themselves to stand by
each other and by the new
men they employ. They have
made arranGemements for new force
of men with printers of the protective
fraternity, and expect to have an ade-
quate number before the close of the
week. That organization admits to
membership all non-union men en-
ployed in printing offices. The result OF
the strike will probably be to break up
the present Typographical Union here,

IN BLOODY KANSAS
More Murders by the Border Rufians
"A Desperate Gang.

DENVER, Col, March 1.-For some
months past very hard feeling has
existed between citizens of Leoti and
Coronad, two small towns in Wallace
County, Kansas, over the location of
the county seat. The seat of the county
government is now located at the latter
place, and the citizens of the former are
attempting to have it moved to their
own. This hard feeling often led to
rows and knockdOwns when citizens of
one village would visit the other, but
with no fatal results until yesterday
afternoon. At3 o'clock, Frank JOuness,
A. N. BARR, George Watkins, Emmett
Desming, Charles Coulter, Bill Rains
and: man named Johnson, left Leoti
for CorOnad. Upon entering that town
in a wagon, they noticed a suspicious
movement among some OF the citizens,
who were standing on the pavement of
one of the stores Coulter, Rams and
JohRsonesprang from the wagon and
REACHED FOR REyoLvERs.
No sooner had the men touched the
ground t1an the party in front of the
store poured a volley from six
shooters into the men, instantly killing
Coulter, Rains and Johnson, and
woundiDg JOnneSs, Barr and Watkins,
so that recovery is impossible During
the fight Desming escaped from the
town, and has not yet been heard
from.
1t is not known whether he was
wounded or not After the killing, the
bodies of the dead men were left lying
in the street, no one being al
lowed to remove them till nearly
midnight, when they were taken
to the undertaker'5. The wounded
men were conveyed to the hotei, and
are being cared for None Of the muir
derers have yet been arrested and it
seems that no officer in the county has
any desire to attempt the task. The
two towns are only two miles apart and

snffarine from snomin CANADA

OTTAWA, March RAILROAD men say
that the recent snow storm was I'M
precedented in the history of railroad
ing in Canada. Trains in every quarter
have been showed up for three days,
and relief parties, with provisions to
keep the Imprisoned passengers from
starving, have to be sent out on snow
shoes. Several ministers of the
crown, on their way to attend an
important meeting OF the cabinet in
connection with the fisheries, are
showed up and cannot reach the city.
Lumbermen assert that there are from
twelve to twenty feet of snow in the
woods, and that it is impossible to do
anything in getting out logs. The lum.
Der trade will suffer great loss, and
there is certain to be scarcity OF logs in
the spring. 1t is also feared that,
owing to the enormous depth of the
snow in the woods, there will be heavy
flood in the spring. ..r

A MAMMOTH LAND COMPANY.
The Largest Private Purchase Even
Made in America

KANSAS .CITY, March 1.-The Inter
state Land Company, an organization
with headquarters in this city, has
completed the purchase of the Arkansas
land grant, comprising $1,000 900 acres,
situated in Texas. New Mexico and
Colorado, and including a portion of
mo Man Land, "and all of the famous
Maxwell grant. The purchase is made
from the exterior of the Beal estate, the
title having come originally from the
Mexican government in 1926. The price
of the purchase is not made public.
The company proposes to give quit
claims to the settlers now on the land
on application, but will require foreign
ers and corporations to settle. Legal
opinions of eminent authorities have
been obtained upon the title. This is
the largest private land purchase ever
made in the United States.

May Not Need an Extra Session


WASHINGTON, March 1.-TLe Senate,
in secret session, confirmed the nomi-
nation of Daniel Malone to be collector
of customs at New York.
WASHINGTON, midnight. - Senator
Allison, chairman of the committee on
appropriations, who was still engaged
with the other conferees On the sundry
civil bill, said to a reporter of the
Associated ess, that the prospects of
getting through the necessary work on
the appropriation bills, and thus avoid
ing the necessity of called session,
amounted to quite probability. The
naval bill would be taken up by
the Senate tomorrow, and would be
passed to the conference during the day.
The legislative and deficiency bills had,
this evening, reached the Senate and
the con mittee on appropriations, by con-
tinuous work, might get them before
the Senate by Wednesday night or
Thursday night. Probablysno attempt
would be made to pass new fortifca-
ton bill, but for the last years being
still incomplete. The conference report
on the sundry civil bill would probably
be before the committee tonight. Not
withstanding, he added, it is in the
power OF any member of either house
to so delay matters as to make an extra
session probable.

APECULIAR STATEMENT.
A Young Blood Who Did Not Know
That He Was Married

NEW YORK, March 1.-The suit of
Mary King or Minnie Clark. who now
calls herself Mary Kittson, for divorce
from Hercules Kittson, son of Com
modore N, w. Kittson, steamboat-man
and stock raiser, began to-day in the
Supreme Court. The plaintiff is a
woman of about 80 years. Young Kilt
son has just attained his majority. The
plaintiff asserts that they were married
on April 25th, 1885. She declares that
he abandoned her on July Sta, 1885,
hence the suit. Young Kittson denies
all knowledge of the marriage, and says
if performed at all it was while he was
intoxicated. He admits being at her
home and asserts. that she made him
drink until he was intoxicated. He
says that he
DID NOT KNOW THAT HE WAS MARRIED
until one day in June, 1885, he met her
on the street. She then informed him
of the affair. He charg that she has
been guilty of adultery with other men.
She makes counter charges, and further
alleges that he has not con tributed to
her support since July, 1885. The
woman was the first witness. She de-
posed that she had been correspond
ing with. Hercules Kittson since 1882.
He wanted her to marry him in 1888,
but she told he he was foolish. On
April 2Sth, 1885, he came to her house
with man named Spillane, and asked
her again to marry him.
Her housekeeper Lizzie then went for
DR.. Underhill, at the Little Church
Around the Corner. They were then
married. Lizzie stood up with the
couple. The ceremony was on Satur-
day, at 9 80 a. M, April 25th. The wit
ness explained every thing to Kittson,
and told him of s.- .
HER RELATIONS WITH Mr.. sPILLANE.
Mr.. Kittson was sober at the time.
Mr.. Kittson stayed at the house until
l or O. clock. He had never supported
witness since. Lizzie got the marriage
certificate on the following Sunday.
The witness maiden name was Mary
King. She never kept house under the
name of Mary Clark or Warren, but said
that Spillane was her friend and that
she had lived with him. Spillane was a
Darkeeper. Witness admitted unfaith-
fulness with Spillane since her alleged
marriage to Kittson. Much of the evil
dence was of character unfit for pub

THE INTERIORS COLLAPSED,

in consequence of which 5000 persons
are compelled to live in sheds and tents,
suffering greatly through exposure to
the wind and rain. OF 300 bodies buried
at Diano, only Is were identified. Five
thousand persons there are still camp
ing out. The air is becoming horribly
offensive. owing to the stencil arising
from the corpses that are yet in the
ruins. The structures in which the in
jured at Bajardo were sheltered, were
own down by the wind, and before
the helpless patients could be removed
to a place of safety, they were all COW
cred with snow and half dead from cold.
